The Artist Lestat

[devilish_prince]

It seems the last few weeks, Lestat has been painting and drawing up a storm, and there is no more room in the tower for his artwork. Now along the main hall, dozens of canvasses of every size and shape have been set along the walls for the residents' perusal. Many of the images are from his own memories and stories, but passers-by may be

The Mansion's other Armand, slight, dark-haired and utterly fascinated with art and the people who can create it... "Oh my," he whispers from a respectful distance. It never pays to get close enough to annoy the vampires, after all. "These are lovely."

[sweariwontdie]

For the first time since he approached, Armand frowns. "Oh? You can see people's memories and thoughts?"

[devilish_prince]

"I can, but normally my mind is closed to such things. My powers have grown to such that I can drown in the voices. On occasion, however, they can slip into my dreams unbidden, or I can simply open my mind and see what floats in."

[sweariwontdie]

Armand makes the frown go away, although he still looks vaguely worried. "Oh, I see. Not everyone here has the best memories." Himself most strongly included in that.

[devilish_prince]

"No, not everyone does, least of all myself," he sighs in understanding. "There is much that I would forget, but cannot."

[sweariwontdie]

"I am sorry to hear that. Memory... can be cruel sometimes." His fingers stray to touch the paint of the landscape. "I think my father would like this."

[devilish_prince]

"He would? Then please, take it home with you by all means, I have no more room for these in my tower. I would love to see them find a good home." Lestat sticks his hands in his pockets and beams.

[sweariwontdie]

"Merci, monsieur. I wish I was this talented."

[devilish_prince]

He grins widely and rocks back and forth on his heels. "Oh, how you flatter me..." He giggles quietly, looking ridiculously pleased with himself.

[sweariwontdie]

"It isn't flattery..." But he shuts up with that. "Are you sure you wish no payment?" There has been a lot of that recently.

[devilish_prince]

"Mais non, it's fine. But if anyone asks, simply tell them who the artist was, oui?"

[sweariwontdie]

"Oh I will." He beams.
